Thirty letters in his name

One of the blogs I follow is Thirty letters in my name by Hari Jagannath Balasubramanian. As mentioned before, I like the kind of fiction that transcends the experience of both writer and reader. It is rather easy today to write about many different things without knowing much about them; however, the wide ranging topics that Balasubramanian writes about is amazing because he doesn't only write about them, but seems to have lived them or at least delved deeply into.

I often use the term 'powwow' in casual or even professional conversation to indicate a meeting or discussion. Without giving it much thought, I had assumed it was a relatively modern American slang. Till I read Balasubramanian's account of attending one.
